The LNA employs a current reuse structure to reduce the power consumption and an active second order notch filter to produce band rejection in the 5 - 6 GHz frequency band. The input reflection coefficient S11 and output reflection S22 are both less than –10 dB. The maximum power gain S21 is 15 dB while the maximum rejection ratio is over –10 dB at 4.8 GHz. The minimum noise figure is 5 dB. The input referred third-order intercept point (IIP3) is –7 dBm at 6 GHz. The power consumption is 6.4 mW from a 1-V power supply.

Introduction amplifiers usually consume a lot of power, provide only medium gain, and occupy a large chip area [2]. Recently, the Federal Communications Commission Resistive shunt feedback amplifiers can provide good (FCC) in the US approved the use of ultra-wideband
